The strategists did this by bringing in Raikkonen at a point when they knew he would feed back unto the track , being held up by traffic .
It’s a team sport - Mercedes ordered Bottas to move over the other week to allow Hamilton through .
What I suspect narked Raikkonen is the fact that he was not told that he would be playing second fiddle when he moved to Ferrari .
We all know that Raikkonen is a man of few words – however the look on his face shows the realisation that he is number two driver in the team

As much as I love Monaco it's about time it's future as an F1 venue was seriously questioned. Sunday's race was probably the most processional I have ever seen there. I appreciate the difficulties of overtaking in F1 and accept them but Monaco is no longer a place for a Grand Prix.
In fact, I wonder whether its time as a motor racing circuit of any description has passed. I watched the F2 races and even the Porsche supercup and they were similarly uninspiring. Even the Formula E races two weeks ago (which only used about half the GP circuit) were processions (but without the noise)..

yes bazille, a fair assessment, it did seem a bit underhand but I can see they probably do have a no 1/2 driver scenario so contrived the less obvious way to switch them round. The pragmatist in mea agrees with the great Sir Jackie, who did say he'd have switched them, just feel a bit sad for Kimi but that's life. Judge, I agree Monaco is not really a viable circuit and would be dismissed out of hand if proposed today but it'd be hard to take that away now.
